Heshima had an extremely deep grasp of the Iron Bone Tribe's internal affairs, so he naturally learned of this information at once. The negative opinions those low-ranking officers held of him left him somewhat displeased.
At this time, one of his Commanders of Ten Thousand suggested that Heshima immediately purge those people. If such behavior were tolerated, it would surely damage the Great Chieftain's prestige within the tribe.
But after hesitating again and again, Heshima still did not agree to the suggestion. Right now, he only wanted the tribe to pack up as quickly as possible and withdraw.
Heshima had no intention of dealing with those fellows at all. In his view, as long as they returned safely to the grasslands, he would naturally make those people who had spoken ill of him behind his back pay the price.
However, Heshima did not know that, in the eyes of those Commanders of Ten Thousand, his behavior seemed far too weak. The former Great Chieftain had not been like this. After all, the Great Chieftain had never been known for magnanimity. This display gave one of the Commanders of Ten Thousand some thoughts of his own.
At present, Heshima had sent all his trusted troops to supervise the tribe members as they packed their belongings. Only a little over a hundred guards remained at his side.
The Iron Bone Tribe's camp was now a scene of frantic activity. Everyone, whether ordinary tribe members or tribal warriors, was packing up. Heshima had ordered many things he considered unnecessary to be discarded.
Large numbers of tents and useless supplies lay scattered throughout the camp. Furs and even some weapons had been thrown away. In Heshima's view, since they had already decided to withdraw, they might as well discard what they could not use
